Once all the boiler band cleats were made I fitted those to the boiler section that I could. There is another to fit to the firebox but more on that in another post.

There are three boiler bands on the boiler itself and the two front ones have the band cleat underneath the boiler while the one in front of the firebox is fitted on the top as is the one on the firebox.

Another fact that I picked up from the GA in the Wild swan book is that on the combustion chamber boilers which were fitted to 6206 at this point in her life was that the band cleats were slightly offset to one side.

This is the bottom of the boiler.

The rear one up on top.

Next I fitted some of the details to the smokebox
